Chapter 201

71. A world where God should have died (4)

As always when the existence of the upper world intervenes in the lower world, there are not one or two restrictions in order to descend in an incarnation state. When you come down, when you come down, and when you go back, you can’t do it at will.

Because of that, the God of Heaven who came down to the lower world had to watch as Cha Shin Hyeon opened the dimension on her own and entered the upper world.

As soon as he had exhausted the minimum amount of time he had to stay, Mushin immediately returned to the upper world. He was hoping that he might be able to help Cha Shin Hyeon in some way.

“… So he came back in a hurry.”

Cha Shin Hyeon stood silently on the beach where the coastline had advanced considerably because the seawater evaporated. Mushin approached him and smiled bitterly.

“Looks like it’s over.”

“As you can see.”

Cha Shin Hyeon shrugged lightly.

If you don’t look around, you don’t even know there was a battle. The injury had long since healed, and even his clothes were clean with no rips.

“Since you’re the only one here, I ask, but it may be just one question, but is the goddess dead?”

“It’s dead.”

“is it… … .”

At the simple answer, Mushin looked at Cha Shin Hyeon, blurring his words. Cha Shin Hyeon sensed the gaze and glanced at his head.

“You look a little depressed.”

“Maybe a little bit.”

Cha Shin Hyeon meekly accepted Mushin’s cautious point.

“Are you reluctant to kill a goddess?”

“That’s not right. Because it was an irreconcilable relationship. She didn’t want me to go to Earth, and I tried to go in, right? Fighting is inevitable because each other does not make concessions. Whatever the outcome, we have to accept it.”

“if?”

“It’s just that things are a little bit bitter. It’s strange to think about how I ended up killing even the gods and becoming a normal being.”

“I understand how you feel, but don’t take it too seriously.”

Mushin said softly.

“I don’t know how she used to be, but she is now an arrogant and self-righteous god. She went beyond the authority of only managing the system so that it worked, and she made the human life her own way. You can’t call her her evil god from her point of view of humanity, but she wasn’t her good god either.”

“It is, though.”

“And my personal feelings are also included, but didn’t the goddess suppress me and take my power by force? Just treating the immortals who should co-exist like that would disqualify you as a god. When she had to step back, she didn’t… In the extreme, she is a god who should have already died.”

“She is a god who should have died… … .”

Cha Shin Hyeon, who was muttering, suddenly burst into laughter.

“Wait, didn’t she get depressed just because she killed the goddess? She should have died, but she said it was bittersweet to be able to kill a god who had endured. The direction of comfort is wrong.”

“Oh, was it?”

Mushin made a puzzled expression. Cha Shin Hyeon, who was fed up without realizing it, completely relaxed her expression and cleared her mind.

“Well, I’m not even a teenager, so there’s no need to worry about my identity now. I’ve been through it all from the other world.”

“If you just listen to what you say, you are a world full of talent. I thought I would have been there once before I even went to the top.”

“There were no dungeons back then.”

“It’s been said.”

Mushin, who made a nonsensical sound, turned the topic around.

“Anyway, is it okay if I ask you just one thing?”

“What?”

“How did you kill the goddess? It’s a confrontation, no matter how possible, I know that God is an immortal being who shares the same fate with the world.”

“I would say that it was not made by God.”

Cha Shin Hyeon briefly explained.

The Goddess could not help but be puzzled by the word that the goddess had been deprived of her throne by using a deep sword.

“It’s the most absurd thing I’ve ever heard. I knew that when I became a god, I would be connected to the world, but I thought that connection could be broken. No, being able to detect the link itself is amazing.”

“I found out after analyzing the divine power of the goddess. I don’t know if this will work either… … .”

Cha Shin Hyeon turned her palm up.

Whoi!

There was a gentle breeze that you wouldn’t know if you didn’t concentrate. The colorfully luminous particles were clustered into a round spherical shape, but soon failed to fix the shape and scattered.“Um, it’s still hard. It was very simple, but it didn’t seem like it would work.”

“… This?”

“Are you saying that God is given the authority to set up the upper world? I’ve implemented it similarly. When I analyzed the nature of the divine power, it was found that the outline was vaguely captured. It would have been nice to see them make the sea and the mountains in person.”

“… … .”

Mushin was speechless for a moment.

Immortals can create anything they want within their imaginary world, and only God is granted the power of creation in the real world beyond the imaginary, though limited to the upper world.

By the way, Cha Shin Hyeon is not even a god and is trying to create something!

In fact, if you look closely, Cha Shin Hyeon had a record of reconstructing his own body from the abyss, so Cha Shin Hyeon had already taken the first step toward creation. So, he was one step further than the existing demon gods and goddesses.

“Maybe you will become more than a manager in the distant future.”

Mushin muttered a mixture of disappointment and admiration.

“More than a manager?”

“Isn’t God the ruler of the world? Not an ordinary god, but the first god who created the world. It seems absurd, but I don’t know if you’ll ever get to that point either. If only he could truly unleash his creative powers to the full.”

“It’s an overly long story. Well, can we use it as a future research project for the very long term? Time is running out.”

“Once you become a god, won’t you know? You will come to understand exactly how the creation of the upper world works.”

“What are you talking about?”

Cha Shin Hyeon asked, saying that she did not know English.

“You say that I become a god. That’s what you should do. I will do my research on my own.”

“Huh? What are you talking about? You are the one who broke the existing god, so of course you should follow.”

“Sajo-sama, have you already forgotten? Why did I cross the dimension in the first place?”

If he stood still, he was on the verge of going to the upper world, so he escaped to Dreadville. The demons have been completely dealt with, and I have returned with a proper body, but now it is impossible to become a god.

“The new seat is yours. You are much more suitable for God than me, who is not motivated and unprepared.”

“Aren’t you a lot stronger than me?”

“Strength is not the criterion. It’s not like we’re choosing some kind of guardian of the earth. This is a special case, to be honest, God never fights with anyone, right? You will become a better god because you have suffered the goddess’s ills and know what mistakes you have made.”

“still… … .”

Mushin, who was trying to convince him even more, saw Cha Shin Hyeon’s firm gaze and gave up his intentions.

To the person who didn’t want to do it from the beginning, he realized that he wouldn’t be able to hear it even if he continued to recommend it now because he has no merit to do it – because he is stronger than God.

“… Okay. I’ll take it. You can give it to me whenever you want.”

“Well, I don’t think that will happen in the near future. If you think you’re doing something strange, you can come to give me some advice.”

“Then if you don’t like it, you get kicked out. This is a total boss.”

Mushin grumbled without malice. Cha Shin Hyeon burst into laughter.

“I hope so. He said he would not repay his master’s favor with betrayal.”

“If you think of him as a teacher, he’ll give you a name first, though.”

“Would you like some respect?”

“… No, it would be better just like this.”

It was hard to hear, so Mushin trembled slightly.

Giggling, Cha Shin Hyeon took over instead of shaking hands. It was a Moorim etiquette that I had not done in a long time.

“I’ll go see you. If you feel lonely and go crazy, you come to the world of images once at a time.”

“You may come by unexpectedly often.”

Smiling face to face, Mushin also took the supremacy.

“Goodbye.”

“then.”

Cha Shin Hyeon turned his body and gently waved his hand.

A seven-color dawn rose and spun round and round in front. The rainbow light, which was gradually increasing in size, cut the space in half and opened its mouth.

Mushin looked at the empty seat of Cha Shin Hyeon, who disappeared after connecting the passage with the underworld by himself for a long time. Until the door closes and the daylight disappears.

Finally, he turned his head to look around and muttered as if he was in trouble.

“It must be quite a task to restore this to its original state… … .”

*

Cha Shin Hyeon, who came down to the dungeon, joined Saltion.

Following the advent of the god of war, Cha Shin Hyeon even ascended to heaven, so there was no way for him to feel at ease. Saltion, who had been waiting impatiently, welcomed the return of his master with great regret.

“Come on, let’s go. Now there are no real intruders.”

“Yes!”

Soon after, Cha Shin Hyeon, who arrived at the entrance of the dungeon, took the lead and went beyond the dimension.

Darkness descends, and he retreats quickly.

Then he stepped on the soil of the earth.

Beep! Beep!

The siren sounds loudly as if to welcome him back. It’s so loud that she can almost hear it from a kilometer away. The welcome was very grand.

“… No, it can’t be!”

“What do you mean, this?”

Saltion, who came after him, asked with a trembling.

“Alarm devices aren’t usually full.”

Cha Shin Hyeon, who checked everything around in a moment, answered.

A double or triple barrier installed around the entrance of the dungeon, all kinds of defense facilities, and at least 100 people who move violently as soon as the siren sounds. Looking at it, it seems that the magic skill of the dragon blood is also mixed a bit.

Yes, it is questionable whether it will be able to stop one Saltion, but by Earth standards, it was a solid defense system that was able to escape even if monsters from high-risk dungeons appeared.

“You will know the situation when we meet. Goes.”

It is after they have already grasped the internal structure of the entire defense facility and the current status of the personnel. Cha Shin Hyeon, who found a familiar energy, smiled and raised her premarital power.

He moved the space with Saltion.

Cha Shin Hyeon, who suddenly appeared in the hallway inside the building, knocked on the door in front of him.

“Come on in!”

Permission was immediately given thanks to the siren. With Saltion standing outside the door, Cha Shin Hyeon went inside alone.

“What happened… … .”

She thought it was a subordinate who came to report the reason for the alarm, and Lee Ji-hye, who had been talking involuntarily, stood up from her seat and stiffened.

“long time no see.”

Cha Shin Hyeon greeted me with a soft smile.

“… Shin Hyeon?”

Lee Ji-hye blinked her eyes.

“Because it’s me, you don’t have to look at me like I see a ghost. I think the siren sounded because of me, can I ask you to turn it off?”

“Ah yes… … .”

As if possessed by something, Lee Ji-hye blankly picked up the phone on her desk. A few words were given, and the subordinate’s opinion was clearly ignored.

Soon the loud noise stopped and the surroundings became quiet.

With a trembling voice, Lee Ji-hye asked if her mind was slowly returning just then.

“really… Shin Hyeon, right?”

“If a tough guy disguised himself as me, wouldn’t it be a scary situation? Oh, I hope this will make you feel a little more reassured.”

Cha Shin Hyeon deliberately turned her body’s preoccupational power to follow the path of the tens of thousands. It wasn’t the old body that learned deep-gong, and it didn’t use the power any more, but it was able to create an effect just by making up my mind to it.

Whoa!

The tens of thousands of uncircumcised balls that Lee Ji-hye learned resonated. Cha Shin Hyeon playfully asked her as her expression brightened as she felt her familiar sensations.

“I haven’t seen you in months, is my face fuzzy?”

“Oh, that’s not it! You came all of a sudden without a word… Oh, of course I couldn’t tell you ahead of time… … .”

“It’s a joke. Anyway.”

Cha Shin Hyeon turned the topic around while reading Lee Ji-hye, who was gibberish in embarrassment.

“You have very strict boundaries, right? It’s something I haven’t seen even in buildings.”

“ It was built after Shin Hyeon went to the other dimension. You don’t know when the demons will come, but you can’t just rely on dragon blood, right?”

“right. In fact, it’s a useless defense if the dragon blood is pierced.”

“It’s a sad truth that hunters usually don’t know.”

Lee Ji-hye smiled bitterly at her.“So I’m not usually this strict. But it was mentioned a few days ago.”

“What mention?”

“Don’t you know? The dragon blood all left a few days ago. At that time, the dragons were whispering to you? These are instructions from Shin Hyeon. There is no need to protect the dungeon anymore.”

“It’s true, but I never asked you to listen. You didn’t even tell me what you were talking about.”

“Anyway, I said that and walked away, but I can’t just believe what they say and not defend myself. All the high-ranking hunters temporarily gathered on Jeju Island. Whenever there is something else, we dispatch one or two people, and the rest stay here. Eunseol was also dispatched this morning.”

“Well, I’ll see you later.”

Cha Shin Hyeon nodded his head.

As soon as I asked all the questions he had, he shut his mouth. Since Cha Shin Hyeon did not speak, Lee Ji-hye naturally became quiet. There was an awkward silence between the two of them for a moment.

“that… … .”

Lee Ji-hye hesitated and asked.

“Are you all right? then that.”

“You said you were going to come back. I’ve solved it all. Her body has returned to normal, and there is no need to climb on her own.”

Cha Shin Hyeon answered clearly. She asked Lee Ji-hye again.

“Then there’s no reason to go over there again, do you?”

“right. I’ve completely blocked the way. Demons strong enough to at least threaten humanity can no longer come to Earth. If you take a little more time… It will be able to block the path of monsters.”

“Damn, that’s great. I never even thought of going there.”

Lee Ji-hye, who admired her, immediately blurs the end of her words and hesitates again.

Cha Shin Hyeon, who was watching her quietly, asked.

“Is there anything you want to say?”

“… Yes.”

Lee Ji-hye, who was hesitating, firmly ate her heart. In her slightly rigid voice, she spoke her words.

“I’ve said it once before, but I definitely had a crush on Shin Hyeon. It may be a love affair, it may be a yearning for strength, or it may be a feeling of gratitude for a lifesaver. It could be a combination of all of them.”

Cha Shin Hyeon listened to her silently.

“And during the months Shin Hyeon was away, waiting for you, I was able to clearly understand my feelings. To be honest, I’m ashamed to eat as I get older and bring these words out myself… … .”

Lee Ji-hye, who took one deep breath of hers, said with courage.

“You said you’re not going anywhere and that you’ll always be here?”

“okay.”

“Then I will go on… May I stay by your side?”

Cha Shin Hyeon, who heard the genuine confession, was silent for a while.

As Lee Ji-hye got a little nervous, he opened her mouth.

“I once died fighting the strongest guy in the world over there.”

“Yes? Lord, are you dying?”

At the sudden announcement of a bomb, Lee Ji-hye forgot what she had just done and surprised her.

“Don’t worry, I’m alive again. Maybe he wasn’t really dead. It is certain that he was reborn with a new body then. anyway.”

Cha Shin Hyeon calmed her Lee Ji-hye and spoke.

“At that time, their faces were the first thing that came to mind. One was Eunseol and the other was you.”

“uh… … .”

This time, it was surprising in a different way. It was because he knew that Cha Shin Hyeon’s only family was Cha Eun-seol.

Seeing her slightly widened eyes, Cha Shin Hyeon laughed.

“Sorry, I can’t say I love you passionately. But it was fun to talk to you, and I didn’t hate being by your side, and it seems like it’s become a precious relationship. I’m a lot older than you, and I’m embarrassed to say this, but… … .”

Cha Shin Hyeon stepped forward with his arms wide open. He gently embraced Lee Ji-hye, who was talking to her while standing opposite her. Then he responded to her confession.

“Stay by my side, from now on.”

“… Okay.”

Holding back the feeling of crying, Lee Ji-hye gave strength to her arm as she embraced Cha Shin Hyeon. With her sincerity, she whispered.

“Thank you for coming back safely.”
